I know that you yourself believe in more than 90 percent of the laws of Sharia, it says "don't lie, don't steal, don't commit adultery, don't rape, ...", is it wrong? Of course there are also some laws in Sharia which really belong to the old times and unfortunately some Muslim bigots still strongly believe in them, the problem is bigotry and reactionary, not Sharia.

This is common sense. We don't need a "holy" set of laws that teaches us how to be morally perfect. If someone does, then that one needs not Sharia, but professional help.

But isn't Sharia supposed to be a perfect and holy set of laws that stands the test of time?
Didn't know that you're an apologetic, Shahmiri.

The problem is not that we need or we don't need, the problem is that this holy set of laws exists and hundreds millions people believe in it, it is somehow impossible that we want to change their belief, we should fight against extremism, a large number of moderate Muslims live all around the world and there is no problem about them.

No, it is not about what Sharia prohibits, it is about the kinds of punishment it proposes, that I consider barbaric. Moreover, anything regarding non-violent sexuality like adultery or homosexuality, as long as minors are not involved, is condemned by Sharia, not by me.... So, it is not really 90% as you claim. It should be less!

Well, at last look the crisis seems to have a non violent end. Kerry suggested the Syrians put their Chems. under international control and the Russians ran with it. Assad has, publicaly anyway, accepted the proposal.
Those of us in the US who watch these things figured something like this was in the works. If Obama really thought a strike was the only solution, he would have done it, much like Clinton did with his original strike against Bin Laden. He would have called the strike, and then told Congress after the fact. He was, in so many words, playing with Assad's head.

It was clear that Obama sought a pretext to not attack Syria, first Congress and now this proposal, anyway it seems we have to see much worse things happen in Syria or other countries in the region, I really hope it won't be using nuclear bombs.

Well spoken. Just because people don't mind to have sharia as their main body of legislation doesn't make it a democracy. How can legislation which expressly puts so many barriers to freedom of expression be compatible with democracy? And how can a people who apply it ever be labelled as ''democratic''?
